Review:

Yanomamo
is a band from Australia who deal in punishing slow-paced
Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs with Violent and brutal vocals to
match. They have released a few releases over the past 2 years or so
which has gained them a loyal following within the Sludge/Doom/Stoner
Metal community.

They
must be good as they recently supported Doom Metal Heavyweights –
CONAN – on their recent Australian Tour. So it's good for CONAN
then that's more enough evidence I need to check out Yanomamo's
blistering new single – Ativan And Whiskey. A 6 minute epic full of
heavy violent Sludge/Stoner Metal riffs that will kick the utter shit
out of you from the very first second.

Yanomamo
add violent hazes of psychedelic vibes to give their sound a more
down and grimy earthly feel. Wait till the 2:35 minute mark where
this awesome riff comes out of nowhere. I didn't expect that at all.
The band is influenced by the legendary NOLA scene and it pays
dividends as the band stay brutal through out.

If
this is the sign of things to come for their debut album then I can't
wait to hear it. Yanomamo are on the verge of something special here.
Check these violent sludge/stoner metal bruisers now. You won't be
sorry.

Thanks
to Yanomamo for sending me a promo to check out. Ativan and Whiskey
is now available to buy on BandCamp Now.
